      Just a point of interest, Streets of Rage / Bare Knuckle isn't actually 2 ROMs but a single ROM that changes based on the language / country setting. It will even do this dynamically in some emulators and on real hardware if you have a country switch mod.

      Load SOR and wait until the title sequence / back story start to play and once the story starts scrolling up, enter the GUI and change the language to Japanese and then exit the GUI. The story will continue to scroll and then change to Japanese after a few seconds.

      The file will not be inside the zip. It will be in ~/RetroPie/megadrive (or Genesis).

      Searching the big 'G' for "libretro 4 player genesis" turned up a few results that might help. As you can see, two of these originate here.

      @dankcushions I figured it had to have been asked many times before. I personally merge all the sega systems together. It was just the inconsistency that made me ask. both are cart systems with cd add-ons but one is separate, one is merged.

      You could argue that the supergrafx was a separate system not just an add-on like the 32x but with only 5 games who wants to split that out!

      There is one problem with merging though. sselphs scraper doesn't find sega cd titles or pce cd titles if they are in the megadrive or pcengine folders so they have to be scraped manually, the built in scraper doesn't find them either (the system is part of the search criteria and it's the wrong system).

      Created with Teensy LC works perfect apart from 3 button press simulates start

      using all emulators this happens ,

      the project

      I added a micro switch to the back of the pad to use as select
      Change pin numbers as needed
      // player 1 bank
      const int P1_A = 4;
      const int P1_B = 5;
      const int P1_C = 6;
      const int P1_LEFT = 2;
      const int P1_RIGHT = 1;
      const int P1_DOWN = 9;
      const int P1_UP = 8;
      const int P1_SELECT = 10;
      const int START_BUTTON = 7;
      unsigned long lastTime = 0;
      void setup()
      {
      pinMode(P1_A, INPUT_PULLUP);
      pinMode(P1_B, INPUT_PULLUP);
      pinMode(P1_C, INPUT_PULLUP);
      pinMode(P1_LEFT, INPUT_PULLUP);
      pinMode(P1_RIGHT, INPUT_PULLUP);
      pinMode(P1_DOWN, INPUT_PULLUP);
      pinMode(P1_UP, INPUT_PULLUP);
      pinMode(START_BUTTON, INPUT_PULLUP);
      pinMode(P1_SELECT, INPUT_PULLUP);

      lastTime = millis();
      }
      void loop()
      {
      unsigned long time = millis();
      // run at 50 Hz
      if(time - lastTime >= 20)
      {
      lastTime = time;
      // read the data of all our buttons
      // our buttons
      Joystick.button(1, 1 - digitalRead(P1_A));
      Joystick.button(2, 1 - digitalRead(P1_B));
      Joystick.button(3, 1 - digitalRead(P1_C));
      Joystick.button(4, 1 - digitalRead(START_BUTTON));
      Joystick.button(9, 1 - digitalRead(P1_SELECT ));

      // also use buttons for the axes cuz unity is a derp Joystick.button(5, 1 - digitalRead(P1_UP)); Joystick.button(6, 1 - digitalRead(P1_RIGHT)); Joystick.button(7, 1 - digitalRead(P1_DOWN)); Joystick.button(8, 1 - digitalRead(P1_LEFT));

      }

      @MWGemini said in Playing Console Combined Rom Packs? (SNES, GEN, NES):

      You can also put things in subfolders. So I might have all my Mario games in NES\Super Mario Brothers and SNES\Super Mario World, for example. That way I can see all the variants within a particular game, but at the root level, I'm just looking at the "base" game name. It makes scraping a little bit more difficult, but that's a different issue.

      Thank you!
      No I went back and grabbed a NO INTRO set, since there would be less/no redundant files this way.

      One thing you can do to further reduce your no intro set of its redundancy, is produce a "1g1r" set from it (1 game, 1 region). If you download the appropriate P/clone xml DAT (from here http://datomatic.no-intro.org/?page=download&fun=xml ) and load it into Romcenter 3.7.1, you can point it to your rom directory and have it keep only a single version of each game based on your ordered preference of regions.

      As of 2024, I can confirm that @akafox's method still works.
      In our case, we had two generic SNES-like controllers and a third generic PS3-like controller plugged in.
      After pressing Select-X to get into the emulator menu:
      The first two controllers had many controller type options.
      The third controller only had retropad available.

      On controller #1, we selected 3 button + 4 way tap.

      Then reset the emulation from inside the menu.
      Voila, 3 players.
